You should be accepted to all without a problem except for Emory, BC, and Cornell. Probably waitlisted at those three. Test scores are fine for all of those schools, so memorable essays will really make a difference. Good luck!
I think you would be accepted to all except Cornell and Emory, which you could get waitlisted for. If you raise your ACT you would have an even better chance, your ECs look great.

Why: GPA is low for some schools and there seems to be now evidence of AP or IB course work (then again, I don’t know you, if you do just another tool in the toolbox). That being said, you have great extracurriculars.
Good Luck!
@Hilary918 I forgot to mention my AP courses I will have taken 9 of the 14 available with the rest being honors. No IB available
You’re great then no worries!
@Hilary918 But I do understand that my GPA is on the lower side for all the schools
Listen- don’t stress yourself out. Your stats are awesome, your ecs are awesome. You are awesome. I know that you will go far in all you do and that your future is bright. Have fun over the next crazy year!
